    I won't tell AG1 that, he's too crazy!

    I probably shouldn't have been so quick to dismiss the chances. I see they play San Diego State on our bye week. Will that hurt us if they get trashed? Maybe.

    We play South Dakota State on UND's bye week. Will voters confuse our thrashing of the Jackrabbits as a dismantling of San Diego State and give the credit to UND? Maybe.

    It's a temping offer but one bump won't even put a dent in this stellar rep

    As a long-time Bison fan...I can say that I'm very accustomed to seeing this. I also get very tired of the UND attitude about it.

    Your post is not a problem...but the general UND attitude is.

    It would be like if we started hockey...and expected to catch up to UND in stature within a year or two...and expected to get equal attention.

    If you wore the uniform...you're a champion.

    Ahhh, so we both play SDSU? Excellent. That will provide the basis for the comparative score engine that fuels their self-worth.

    Odd that the off weeks both include SDSU. I was so unnerved that I took the afternoon off. Scary stuff.

    The honeymoon is over, no more excuses, It'll be fun to watch them have to stand/fall on their own. The moral victories won't mean squat, now they're running with the big dogs, bring on the SD School of Mines! I predict next we'll be hearing them bitching about their travel schedule.
    Hey Barkeep, another round of the green stuff for me and my buddies!

    When you play football, you gotta like the taste of blood, And 50 percent of the time, it's your blood.

    It is characteristic of the unlearned that they are forever proposing something which is old, and because it has recently come to their own attention, supposing it to be new.
